LGBTPU 2025 Powerlifting Championships

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2025 LGBTPU Powerlifting Championships on Saturday, July 19th, and Sunday, July 20th 2025, at the Mansfield "Old Tyme Strength" Gym, led and in association with Chris Gray and his team.

We look forward to applications from all over the world, and we’re opening registration on December 1st, 2024, to give everyone maximum time to plan, practice, and organize their travel to be part of next year's championship.

We are also excited to announce open registration for Gay Game XII Valencia 2026 please follow this link for more information and how to register: valenciagaygames.fusesport.com/registration/1047/

Furthermore, in July next year, we will be celebrating the life of Charlotte Wareing in her memory at that event. This will be the first occasion we can all meet after her untimely death in August this year. As many of you know, I spoke on behalf of our organization and the wider LGBTQ+ community at her funeral, but I want the opportunity for us all to remember Charlotte, sharing our memories and competing and supporting each other as I know she would have wanted that to be the legacy of our organization.

If you have any questions regarding the competition, please do not hesitate to contact me or either of our secretaries – Keyz or Ahmad.

We look forward to working with Chris Gray and his team to provide a top-notch competition next July.

Best wishes,

Adrian Hyyrylainen-Trett (they/them)

President of LGBTPU (LGBT Powerlifting Union)
